About This Perfume
Kenneth Cole Black Bold smells like bright citrus and mint over smoky cedar. It opens with mandarin orange, basil and ginger, moves into lotus, smoke and cedar leaf and settles on black woods, blond woods and musk. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $46.
